Abstract:
The Pacification Effort in Vietnam [philosophy and objectives of the pacification program from 1959 to
1969, effect of negotiation initiatives on
pacification program, and importance of

that the program has made a significant
contribution to the military efforts and
political stability in South Vietnam;
however, a large part of the countryside is
still contested, success in gaining the
allegiance of the people is difficult to
ascertain, and further progress in
pacification over the upcoming months will
not make South Vietnam more able to cope with
the VC]. Special National Intelligence
